Re: Jonathan Williams Highlights
Only reason why he lasted until the 5th round was because he missed the entire 2015 season after he underwent successful foot surgery.
Jonathan Williams, a preseason second-team All-SEC selection who led Arkansas in rushing in 2014, suffered a left foot injury that required surgery and will keep him out for the season.

Very talented running back, with very low mileage on his body.
6'0 224 lbs, could be the surprise pick of the entire NFL draft.

Unlike others, I've felt all along we needed to add another RB, due to the nature of how heavy a running team we are, and the fact that Karlos has a history with concussions. I like Gilleslee, but this kid could be a very nice compliment to the group. Style wise, you sort of now have Shady and Karlos, with Gilleslee and Jonathon Williams, their respective backups. Quite possibly a very strong group overall - although the jury is obviously out on J Will for the time being.
As with pretty much all of our picks so far, 'value' shouldn't be an issue, the only real arguments being personal preference and position.

Re: Jonathan Williams Highlights
You don't solve injury issues at RB by over-loading the position on the roster. Having said that they'll probably keep 4 active and JW could sit awhile in the wings on the PS.YardRat Wall of Fame

No more 20 carries or more per game for a running back. Keep a stable of horses instead of 1 horse, the Bills are going to use multiple backs this season.
10-15 carries per game at most per running back.
Ch ch ch changes, turn and face the strange.

Phil Savage (ex-GM and head scout, now President of the Senior Bowl) called him the #1 sleeper pick in the draft.
I'll take his opinion over the utterly clueless.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

On Savage, not too sure his recent history with Cleveland and Philly is too sharp, no offense.

Re: Jonathan Williams Highlights
Reminds me of a young Fred Jackson. We had 5 injured RB's last year at the beginning of the season. Carlos has had multiple concussions and injuries and quite frankly won't be in the NFL for long. We hired RB's off the street to play. I don't have a problem with this pick.Lou Saban: You can get it done, you can get it done. And what’s more, you’ve gotta get it done.

Is the comparison Johnny White 2011 5th round ?
Dunno. I think they really need to pay better attention to available running backs and give them a better line to run behind. If you can't that's a different problem that won't go away with a draft pick.Last edited by Mace; 04-30-2016, 07:56 PM.

Re: Jonathan Williams Highlights
The good---runs a little bit like Thurman, though not quite as compact.
The bad---he's going to have fumbling issues at the pro level if he doesn't learn how to secure the ball better.YardRat Wall of Fame
